Our story began in the basement of a church, where a small group of dedicated women believed that everyone in town should have access to books. From those humble beginnings, the library has continued to grow and thrive.

Today, we offer more than 40,000 books, magazines, DVDs, and other resources, along with access to materials from libraries throughout Pennsylvania. Best of all, library cards are free, and so are our programs and events!

Meet Arieana Cummings. She is four years old, yet she has read 1000 books before Kindergarten! Isn't that amazing? Thanks to Ariana's mom, Jamie Stepp and dad, David Cummings, for investing the time in reading to their daughter. Children' s stories are short, they have lots of pictures, and they are often enjoyed more than once. Each time you read a book, even if it is a repeat of what you read yesterday, you can log it as a book! It's not cheating to repeat titles. The more you read to your little ones, the better it is for their cognitive, emotional, and oral development.

Our library is now resource-sharing with Allentown, Bethlehem, Easton, Bangor, and Monroe County. That's good news for us! Resource-sharing opens up the world of library collections to library patrons, enabling them to request whatever they want or need. It saves libraries money by reducing the need to purchase materials; libraries share them with each other instead. And our members still have access to all the libraries in our consortium without ever leaving Slatington!
